My Athlon machine is called Bad A$$, my P3 is called Taipan and my home server is called Bomber.
At work we call all our servers after snakes - Python, Cobra, KingCobra, Anaconda and Mamba. Whenever we buy a new server is takes longer to think of a snake name than to install the damn thing.
Don't have a name, per se, but I regularly call it.."Your mother was a overglorified toaster."
Speaking of computers named after planets..One of the companies I worked for had a server cluster, named after the Planet. Just so happened that the SQL Server was "Uranus", and the confidential info was stored on "Mars".
Nothing like data coming for "Uranus", they would say... :cool:
Pretty cool naming convention, I'll help with the names : Fer de Lance, Diamondback, Rattlesnake, Asp, Viper, Sidewinder, Death Adder, Copperhead, Black Racer, and Cottonmouth. Wish I had thought of that, instead of European/Asian conquerors.Quote:

My machine is called FrankenBeastie, in honor of the endless tinkering and mods I do to it. My wife's/son's machine is named after my son's nickname, Toadster. When I give my daughter a machine, it will known as Lemon (Her nickname. She has more things go wrong with her, if she were a car she'd be a lemon. :))
I have 8 computers in my house (4 teenage boys and a wife) each of their computers are named after the user eg Margaret, Robbie, Joey, Michael and Bryan. My computer is named DAD , Mac is my macintosh and servie is my server....
I need a life

My 2 now are Called Shodan (my nasty, nasty server) and Furioso (My games beast.)

Our old office server was named ID4, after the promos for the movie Independence Day (July 4) Why, nobody has any idea.
Maybe the aliens thought about coming down above it and blowing it to pieces :D :D :D :DQuote:
